Vermont construction contracts lagged in August
Tue Oct 9 2012
Vermont contracts for future construction in August were behind last year's total for the month and for the year, as commercial building was the only sector that saw improvement. Meanwhile, New Hampshire contracts showed strength in the "non-building" (roads, bridges, etc, etc) highway construction sector.
